GEORGES BRAQUE | À Tire-d’aile

Galerie Louise Leiris, Paris
Art Point Inc., Tokyo
Private Collection, Japan
Acquired from the above by the present owner in May 2019

This work is in very good condition. Executed on cream wove paper. The sheet is mounted at all four corners of its verso. The right edge is unevenly cut and the other three edges are deckled. On the verso of the work there is a sketch for another work, which has been cut off. Along the left edge, approximately one inch from the upper left corner there are two minor nicks. Toward the upper left and upper right corners there are triangular clusters of three pinholes, likely inherent to the artist's process.
